Mini disc to Media Player?

[Guest]

This must be possible -I think: I have a Sony MiniDisc Deck (a big one, not a
Walkman kind of thing) and I would love to put some of my MD to my computer.
And maybe on to a CD.
I have a simple soundcard (no optical in or out) so I plug the red and white
plug into the OUT red and white of the MD and the little black plug into the
BLUE thing of my soundcard.
No I can hear my MD's through my computer speakers but I can't find anywhere
how to get in onto my computer.
MediaPlayer does not recognize my Sony -although I press F5. Twenty times,
actually...

Any suggestions, apart from buying a soundcard with optical in/out?

Thanks,
Pieter

download www.jetaudio.com basic,
it has a RECORDING button on the top.
Set it to record from your input and record while your mini disk is
playing....

Hi John Jay,
Thanks ever so much: it works! Bravo. I'm not too familiar with folders and
where the recordings go to, but I was able to copy it to MediaPlayer. Can't
change the name etc but I'll work that out in due course.

greetings,
Pieter

to change the name of the file just right click it and select "rename"

I will be having lots of tutorials on my new site (its not quite ready yet,
but you can bookmark it)

I'll do that!
But I can't rename a WAV-file, apparently. So I changed it in to a WMA-file
(all this abbreviations and I do not have a clue what they are and why it's
SO complicated).
Anyway: thanks again!
greetings from Holland,
Pieter
